[Docket No. CP98-641-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 2, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 29, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission Company 
(FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Suite 3997, P.O. Box 1188, Houston, Texas 
77251-1188, filed in Docket No. CP98-641-000 a request pursuant to 
Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to 
construct, own, and operate a new delivery point, located in Manatee 
County, Florida to deliver natural gas for TECO Peoples Gas Inc. 
(TECO), under FGT's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-
000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully 
set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    FGT proposes to construct, own, and operate a tap, valve, 
electronic flow measurement (EFM) equipment, and approximately 100 feet 
of 6-inch connecting pipeline for TECO to deliver to a new meter 
station (PGS-Lakewood Ranch), located in Manatee County, Florida, at 
mile post 73.56 off FGT's 8-inch Sarasota Lateral.
    FGT states that TECO will construct, own, and operate this new 
meter station with FGT constructing the tap, EFM, and connecting line. 
FGT declares that the proposed delivery capacity at this new point will 
be 32,500 MMBtu per day at line pressure. FGT asserts that TECO will 
reimburse FGT for all costs directly and indirectly incurred by FGT for 
the construction of the new delivery point. FGT states that the 
estimated total cost of the proposed construction is $74,500, inclusive 
of tax gross-up.
    FGT Gas declares that the proposed gas deliveries at the subject 
point will be from currently existing certificated levels that will be 
released from existing service agreements and, therefore, will not have 
an impact on FGT's daily, annual, or peak day deliveries. FGT states 
that TECO will acquire relinquished volumes from existing customers to 
serve the new PGS-Lakewook Ranch meter station.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
